Islanders show off their new digs in Brooklyn
This Islanders fan expresses his happiness the team is in Brooklyn during Wednesday's Blue and White prospect scrimmage at the Barclays Center.Nostalgia finally can be left behind, because it was all so real for the Islanders on Wednesday night. Their new digs at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center were no longer an abstract, but a home.
The Islanders played their Blue-and-White prospect scrimmage in front of 6,311 surprisingly engaged and paying fans, and 19-year-old Josh Ho-Sang, the 28th overall pick from the 2014 draft, stole the show with three assists.
There was hockey in the Borough of Kings, and now it’s here to stay.
